A San Diego medical marijuana employee was pistol-whipped as three men barged in to steal goods inside Thursday night.
The incident happened at Green Air Patient Care at 6810 El Cajon Boulevard in Rolando just before 9:30 p.m. Police said three men with their heads and faces covered by hoods entered the storefront while four employees were inside.
One employee tried to stop the assailants at the front door, but was subsequently pistol whipped in the head with a black, semi-automatic handgun. He sustained a non-life threatening head wound, police said.
Authorities said the suspects took display items and the victims' personal property before escaping on foot.
Police only described the suspects only as dark-skinned because hoods covered their faces.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477 or the San Diego Police Department at (619) 531-2000.
